Burning Qurans? What book would you burn as a protest or what thing?

I would burn street lights.

They're just too bright and too many of them.

In terms of books though I would probably burn a magazine called Hello.

I came upon this magazine inadvertently this week and I was horrified. It should die a nasty death.

    What book?

    First suggestion : street lights
    :confused:

    Is this the new Harry Potter?
    :confused:

    And no-one anywhere should burn books of any description.

    Using hello as a jazz mag is just cheap./

    It is not just crackers and rednecks that burn things, some Brits burn effigies of the Pope every year...sad.

    I've got Francis Bacon's paintings in my head and a smile on my face. I imagine the pope on fire would look much like Bacon's studies of Valezquez' pope innocent x portrait! :D

    I'd burn off, as a protest against being stopped for speeding again.

    Surely you could make an exception for anything bearing the name Katie Price or Jordan?

    That would be a waste of toilet paper.

    Tommy Smith's Autobiography, what he said about Emlyn Hughes (after he'd died) was disgusting. He (Smith) was someone I had looked up to for years, now I wouldn't cross the road to speak to him

    Tony Blair's, Alistair Campbell's and Peter Mandelson's memoirs.

    Oh and the Bilble and the Koran.

    And that Harry Potter sh*te.

    Interestingly - I was thinking the same thing last week.

    I flew back from Germany last week on a night flight - and the streetlights in the UK did seem to be considerably brighter and more widespread than in the areas of mainland europe that we flew over.

    I also noticed that there seems to be an increasing number of white streetlights and floodlights (as opposed to the traditional yellow sodium lamps) - bad news for astronomers.

    "Don't join the book burners. Don't think you're going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don't be afraid to go in your library and read every book." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

    Wise words indeed.

    Bear in mind that quote was uttered previous to the publishing of The Da Vinci Code. ;):p

    Any book glorifying warfare or the armed forces and theres a fair few about.

    But in reality burning or banning books is silly unless its incredibly evil and likely to be bad for society as a whole
